Yipes!

[Lanemerkel1]

an entire unit of my hastati just died from exhaustion


now I'm not gonna charge from as mile away anymore at least

[Sir Chauncy]

Eh what! I had no idea that could actually happen!?

I ran my unit of generals ragged once, I just thought they moved slower and had a tendency to get beaten in arm wrestling contests.

[Afro Thunder]

I thought units could only die from exhaustion when they were swimming. That happened in a game where the Vandals attacked across a river. Some of their units spent quite a lot of time in the water, and next I see a river filled with floating corpses! Archers didn't shoot them, so the logical explanation is that they got exhausted and drowned.

[Slug For A Butt]

You had a unit die from exhaustion? Never ever ever ever seen/heard that happening. I have chased enemy infantry round and round even when they have been exhausted when the battle started, but they have never just dropped due to exhaustion.
I'm sure you are sure, but you want to check they had no archers nearby to kill them on auto fire?

Maybe just me, but I thought units would only rout due to unhappiness caused by exhaustion.

they had archers....on the other side of the settlement I was attacking, no way they could fire at me and I was looking at my men....no arrows flying at em



and they were grabbing for their necks you know?


like they were gasping for air

A lie. Units just can't die from being tired. Period.

[Sir Chauncy]

Don't mince your words, just tell it how it is.

Pah! Next you'll be saying it's not true that if you watch idle units besieging a settlement for long enough, they start doing Monty Python impressions and making horses hooves sounds with coconuts. You naysayer!

You're right. I apologize.

[Rilder]

i've tested, i started a battle and put all of the army except for a unit of peasants on ai control then ran them solidly for like 25 minutes i think, nothing happened, are you sure it wasnt arrows from settlement towers?

When a unit gets shot by an arrow they sometimes do an animation simular to that

[InsaneApache]

Well you got at least one bite. :gah:
